I recently wanted to distribute a piece of software which runs in

package to place the file in /usr/bin. I tested it on my machine
and since it worked once in a row, I figured "ship it".
Okay so now a user is reporting an error on installation.
Is there an installer failure log somewheres that I can tell him to
send me?
I really did search the archives and docs for PackageMaker before
posting this. The results you get when using "installer failure
log" aren't that useful.
You can also start checking the following things in your package:
- Authorization: Do you require Root/Admin authentication? Since
you're installing in /usr/bin, you should.
- Owners, Groups and Permissions: Which ones did you use for your
file and potential parent folder? Use lsbom on the Archive.bom file
in your package to check they are correct.
